Topic: Is there a conflict with Avast Free and Zonealarm Pro (Read 4020 times)

All of a sudden, I'm having problems. First, a couple weeks ago my laptop would not boot. Took it to a shop. They removed both Avast and Zonealarm Pro and problem solved. I reinstalled Avast Free and no problem. Then my desktop computer started locking up. Turned off ZAP and no problem with locking up and a tremendous increase in speed. Laptop is XP Pro and desktop is XP Home. Both had the most current version of both programs.

However there have been many ZA FW issues in the past. So it is up to you what you want to do, and confirm which version of Avast you actually have installed on your machine once you return home. If you have the version stated above and still have issues, then I would recommend that you try one of the other FW's stated in this thread as a trial first. Make sure you uninstall ZA per the vendors uninstaller tool and reboot your machine first prior to installing the new FW.

Just installed the update and things seem to be running very well. Speed of computer is much faster.

Glad to hear things are running better for you. Enjoy your new product. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
